Sport and private equity do not mix. FIFA’s secret deal to sell out the World Cup to billionaire investors further jeopardises the integrity of the sport. Football belongs to the fans and the players, and shouldn’t be up for sale.

It’s good that the head of Marist has stood aside and that the school is commissioning an external review of workplace culture. I’ve also requested a formal review from the Department of Education into whether it’s appropriate for Marist to continue to receive Commonwealth funding.

The allegations against Marist College Ashgrove are awful. Female teachers have reported being sexually harassed and intimidated by students, incidents the school has shrugged off. Misogyny has no place in schools – especially one that’s banked $162m in govt funding over the decade.

Two completely unrelated images, I’m sure. So glad our democracy can be bought 🙂

CICTAR’s damning report reveals just how crooked the employment services system really is. Ever wonder what those “employment providers” do with all the money the Government gives them to harass you? Donate it back to politicians! 1/2

Caring for our fellow Australians should always be the top priority – not private corporations’ profit, and certainly not Government cost-cutting. And yet, Labor has over-relied on automation, algorithms and AI purely so they can fluff out their budget margins. 1/2

Our community expects our social security system to provide enough for us to live a decent life, but too many of us can't afford rising costs of mortgages and rents on Centrelink payments that the government keeps far too low. 1/3

Some aged care providers are gouging residents for services they don't provide or telling them that opt-in fees are mandatory. Labor's letting the market rip and older people are paying the price. Is it any wonder American private equity vultures are circling the sector?

Labor’s failed aged care reforms have copped another whack from the Senate These disastrous reforms are unravelling piece by piece. Minister Rae is clearly out of his depth, and older people are paying for it, sometimes with their lives.

Helen O'Sullivan, a grandmother and member of the Gaza Flotilla, was arrested yesterday in Brisbane under the Qld LNP's draconian anti-free speech laws. Solidarity with Helen and everyone else charged for opposing Israel's genocide and fighting for Palestinian freedom.

By allowing Palantir to embed itself in defence & security agencies Labor is welcoming AI-powered far-right extremism with open arms. Palantir says it has a "moral debt" to serve US military interests - how are Australians made any safer by letting them get their hooks in us?

The Christian Brothers have billions of dollars in property and their schools have banked over $1.5 billion in public funding over the last decade - but apparently they can’t afford to compensate survivors of child sexual abuse? The lack of accountability is shocking.

The fossil fuel industry is a death cult - and they're spending millions to smuggle their propaganda into our classrooms. We need an inquiry to find out how these tax-dodging multinationals are allowed to try to brainwash our kids into believing their deadly lies.

Redeemer Baptist School has pocketed $53 million in combined funding from state and federal governments over the past decade. Yet they’re not subject to the same rules and conditions as public schools. Why are we subsidising a private school that treats kids like this?

The Inspector-General is right. Labor's aged care reforms are undermining the human rights of older Australians. The government needs to listen to experts, providers, unions and advocates, eliminate copayments and fully fund home support.

Groundbreaking proposal from billionaire Murdoch’s mouthpiece: have we tried going after everyday people? Hey, NewsCorp, here’s a better way to get free up billions: Pay your taxes. Tax the 1%. Tax gas exports. Let’s make the big end of town pay their fair share.

Under the NDIS people with MND are able to access around $300k a year for their complex needs. It’s often not enough. But if you’re diagnosed with MND over 65, the most you can get in an aged care package is $78k. It's utterly absurd.

Labor's proposed employment services "reforms" will lock in a privatised system built on coercion and control. They need to go back to the drawing board. Thanks to @antipovertycentre.org for their briefing yesterday and for centring people with lived experience in this conversation.

The allegations about the Redeemer Baptist School are shocking. Our kids deserve to go to school knowing they’ll be safe and supported - not tormented, controlled and forced into isolation. Investigations are underway but there are bigger questions that we need to reckon with.

Labor needs to go back to the drawing board. The Greens will do everything in our power to stop this NDIS bill from passing in its current form.

The Greens have suspended standing orders in the Senate to debate a motion calling on Labor to withdraw its devastating NDIS bill. This bill must not pass.

BREAKING: Gas policy announced by party in the pocket of gas corporations developed by... gas corporations.

If you're a normal person you probably think it's bad that billionaire Trump pals like Gina Rinehart have Pauline Hanson in their pocket. So of course the most abnormal publication in the country thinks it's good.

Labor's welfare compliance system isn't just morally reprehensible, it's operating illegally. And we've known this for a long time! Their "once-in-a-generation reforms" (lol) mean nothing if the architecture of this punishing system remains.

Senator Canavan has spent his political life opposing women's rights. You'll forgive me if I call bullshit on his sudden concern for our wellbeing. #transwomenarewomen

ICYMI... Last night the outgoing Inspector-General of Aged Care Natalie Siegel-Brown said what the Greens have been warning about for years: that rationing aged care would create a two-tier system that favoured wealthier people. This is precisely what's happening now.

A clear admission here from the Department that Labor is rationing - i.e. denying - aged care from older Australians. And they're using an untested algorithm that is consistently under-assessing care to do their dirty work for them.

Labor know their aged care algorithm is cooked - that's why they've put money aside in the budget to reassess it. But they still won't put humans back in charge of decision-making!

Labor eliminated humans from aged care assessment decisions. The result? An algorithm is screwing up assessments - and there's no human override possible. I asked the Department whether they consulted with anyone before making this change. You'll be unsurprised by the answer.
